Weekly Sunday Meditation, Mindfulness, and Breath Work Class

Melanie is very excited to relaunch the Weekly Sunday Sitting. She has been teaching this class since 2012 and is honored to announce we have found a new home for the sitting, Buddhamouse Emporium, Claremont, Ca.

Class is based on joining together to discuss topics relevant to our self and social well being. Relational Mindfulness, Meditation Practices, Breathing Techniques, and Emotional Intelligence are taught in order to gain self-awareness and resilience in times of emotional dis-ease.

Classes are donation based and will be open to the public. No experience necessary, all are welcomed and encouraged to bring a loved one that might benefit from the teachings.

Meditation & Mindfulness

Melanie offers on-site training programs for companies and non-profit institutions that want to improve the health and well-being of their employees and community partners. Melanie works with you one-on-one in order to structure a program that specifically meets your companies needs and desired outcome.

Melanie has worked with a variety of companies and private clients in order to bring the scientifically proven benefits meditation and mindfulness has on, stress reduction, higher concentration, enhancing work/life/family balancing skills, problem solving tools, and an overall increase in health and well-being.

The meditation and mindfulness practices Melanie offers are secular teachings and based on science researched techniques that are not inclusive to a particular group or philosophy. The practices are structured to be accessible to a wide range of people and easily practiced and adapted to your companies mission and community.

Sessions are conducted on-site at your companies offices and scheduled during times that would not interfere with the employees/community partners daily work schedule. ​Melanie has several training courses to choose from in order to best serve your company's mission and community needs:

Consultations are free, lets talk about your companies mission and community needs, course scheduling, number of employees in your organization, courses offered/customizing your course, budget, and a tentative available time for a personal meeting with Melanie.

One-On-One Private Sessions

Melanie offers one-on-one meditation, mindfulness, breath work, and spiritual mentoring. Through your work with Melanie she will teach you the art of sitting in meditation, practicing mindfulness & breath work, and finding your direction on your path to spiritual well-being.

Why would I begin a mentoring relationship?Working with a mentor in a one-on-one capacity allows you the privacy of working through personal hinderances and conflicts that are road blocks to your over all well-being. Your mentor is able to work with you on specific topics that will allow you the freedom of talking openly and honestly about your heart felt aspirations. Together we will create an action plan through meditation, mindfulness, breath work, and conflict resolution skills to make those aspirations attainable.

What would I expect from mentoring sessions?We will send you a intake questionnaire to help organize and direct the mentoring sessions. This will also help Melanie better understand how she can be of service to you during your time together and give you an idea of some of the starting points of the mentoring relationship. In your first meeting you will go over the aspirations and relationship terms to set up the next set of sessions.

Mentoring sessions are 1hr per session set up bi-weekly or monthly. Meeting opportunities are available at Open Door and Skype. So if you are not in the Pomona, Ca area you also have an opportunity to meet with Melanie.
